The Pride of Rivers head here after a disappointing display against Young Africans in Nigeria. They now have a tough hurdle to overcome when they travel down to Benjamin Mkapa Stadium on Sunday. Rivers United found the back of the net nine times while conceding seven goals in the group stage. Rivers United didn’t have a smooth sail as they won three, drew once and lost twice. Stanley Eguma's men have been poor lately, with a win, two draws and two defeats.

Rivers United have one just once on the road in the competition.

Over their previous three meetings, Rivers United have won twice while Young Africans have recorded a win. Both sides met in the qualifying rounds in 2021, where Rivers United won both legs without conceding any goal. However, the home side are a step ahead in the contest with two goals scored against Rivers United. The visitors must score three times without a response from the home side to secure passage to the next round. That’s almost impossible against a side who are on fifteen unbeaten home games; bet on a home win for 1.50.

We expect to see a correct score of (3-0) here for 8.30.

Young Africans have players who can cause any side problems, and we expect a high-scoring game here, with a total of over 2.5 goals for 2.40

Good luck!
